The early bird gets the girl

Just got an email from a flower shop where I’ve purchased blooms before — for a birthday, for Valentine’s Day, for Christmas, for no special reason. The email is an ad for Valentine’s Day bouquets. It advises (or warns) that “The Early Bird Gets the Girl” and suggests I order red roses right away. The featured bouquets: “Forever Beloved,” “P.S. I Love You” and “Be My Love.” No, I won’t be ordering those — and not “Hugs and Kisses,” “Heart and Soul” and “Love’s Divine” either. Maybe the “Always on My Mind” arrangement? No, best to send a song…the great Steve Earle’s not sending flowers…he’s singing that he’s never been “Lonelier Than This”….
